DL novice

Okay so I am a DW veteran, but haven't been to DL much. I was there 2 times before, both for brief trips. Once after they opened CA and the second the day after the Angels won the pennet! We are going to use some of our DVC points and head out the middle of June. (Wanted to go in July, but DD has school and work) Trying to do the trip on a slim budget because we are saving up for a family reunion cruise on DCL for mom's 80th in 2007. We intend to stay on property for 3 nights and 3 more nights off property. (to celebrate my father's 81 b-day there) After our stay on property we want to stay in a suite or at least a larger room with kitchen or refrig, does anyone have any ideas? There are 4 of us DF, DM , 26 yo DD and myself. Also, any special 50th birthday stuff we should know about? Thanks everyone in advance for your help!
